Anyone that was at the 'global' launch received their £250 worth of vouchers from Samsung yet?
I'm not sure if I was in the top 100 people but I was queueing up at about 07:50 and I put my name and email on a list so I'm just wondering if anyone has received them yet?

If you came at 7:50 then I was probably a few places in front of you in the line, but no I haven't got any emails about it either.

I was the guy looking thoroughly cheesed off about the fact the there was only one shop in the country that was supplying them on launch day. I noticed the media team with the camera steered well clear of me instead asking questions to 'the only girl in the queue'
I remember when I bought Sammy gtab 10.1 on the release day in London something was as well. Sammy offered cover and keyboard to first 100 ppl, it took about a month. I'm guessing that it's due to 27days return policy. they didn't want to give free stuff and people would return gtab and sell the freebies...

Yeah i'm due one too and the cashback offer but not been contacted yet. They did say 7 days to me to be fair.

Yeah, that's what they said to me and seven days would probably mean business days so we're looking to the start of next week
I was just wondering if they were being proactive and sending them out when they said they would rather than leaving it for weeks and weeks
I was close to the front and nothing. I expect it will take around three weeks.
I was 3rd in the Queue but still nothing, i remember one of the Sammy Reps saying it would take "A Few Weeks"
Also I seem to remember that they said the voucher will be redeemed with Samsung's own Android store, not the market. Since I don't think Samsung has put up an ICS version of their store app yet it will probably be a while till we get it.

So do we know what exactly we get? I got some vague description of apps and films and stuff. Was more interested in the cashback offer at the time tbh
I was told by 2 of the Phones4U sales team that we would get £250 vouchers for Android content and £100 extra vouchers from phones4U.
I have contacted Phones4U twice now (as they didn't get back to me the first time) they said it would be coming from Samsung and they would email us a code after 20 days.
The cameras were for Google internal. Nothing special.

I was in the queue early morning behind a guy who already had one! I got in, given and handset and then got denied a contract on Orange!
At least I got the T-Shirt
I came back at about 6 and there were still 2 name slots on the list, managed to get my upgrade with Vodafone so that was one less hassle!
So I got the 250 vouchers and the 100 return (still waiting for these), Phones4U didn't want to write this offer on my contract though...
Also got a mug too!
Not really sure how to spend 250 on apps and videos?!?
I got £200 vouchers from Samsung when I registered my Galaxy Tab and it broke down like this:
15 new release films from Samsung Movies (or more if I chose cheaper ones), movies are £12
5 Gameloft games
50 mp3's from emusic
£25 WHSmith ebook voucher

They told me it was for the Android market. But I might have get them wrong, it was very hectic.
the p4u guy also told the vouchers/credits were coming from Samsung in the next 7 days but didn't give me anyway of proving that i would be getting it. Basically i was supposed to have faith that Samsung was going to miraculously know to contact me.

I didnt get a mug! Just Tshirt and stickers.
Was really hoping it would be for the android market. I was wondering if they could be used to buy comics through the marvel app, or when the music store comes out.

I wonder if the sale will be in stores too? I just texted the Samsung rep for my store (I work for Sears) and while he only handles TVs he normally gets updates from the tablet and phone divisions as well since we don't have a rep for them at our store. He said he hadn't heard anything yet about in store deals directly from Samsung but would let me know if he does.
No looks bad, thanks for the input!
I was looking for something.
Amazon has the 32GB units for the same price as Samsung; $549. Prime shipping.
I bought mine from Samsung this morning. Be looking for docks and accessories soon. Google shouldn't have made me wait for the Nexus 10 2.
Tiger direct has the 32gb for $519 when you use V.me by VISA at checkout. No tax in CA, free (slow) shipping
Hi could anyone tell me if the uk 32gig nexus will qualify ? Or is it just the 16gig version. As it has to be this model number ASUS-1A007A
Many thanks in advance.
Here's the link if anyone is interested have to buy a nexus 7 from 5th may to 1st june https://asuspromotions.com/googleplay
Well, the list of qualified models has only one entry and that's ASUS-1A007A which is the 16Gb 2013 nexus 7. Why don't you just file a claim and see what happens?
Just got my £50 Google Play credit today, thanks for the link :good:

Hi at all those who have pre-ordered on one of the French sites,
Has anybody already received a shipping confirmation?
On my order confirmation mail, it says "will be shipped latest by April 10". It is nowhere explicitly mentioned but I guess this also means
" earliest" as well.

Hi,
On my order it says "Your product will ship on or before 4/8/2015." and it's not already shipped.
Hey, mine was ordered on the 30 march and is still on process. The delivrery date is 21/04/2015. Let's hope they delay will not be important.

well seems to me that cdiscount sucks!!!!it was supposed to have the phone yesterday.my friend contacted with them they claimed that the reason my phone was delayed was the catholic easter.they gave us new delivery time for 12 of april wich is....sunday!!!!!i think they didnt had the phone wich they claimed to be in stock when my friend ordered it!!!!!
I don't think the retailers know themselves when they are getting them in. Its the problem with releases like this. I cant under stand while the whole of europe did not get it at the same time and why it cant be a world wide release. If they had a worldwide release date and an simple advertisement with the specs and price they would sell way more units
Darty - Delivery postponed
I preordered from Darty.com with delivery date being latest today. Yesterday I received an email saying it wasn't sent out. I called today, and they told me they didn't receive the phones, and that the new delivery date is April 26th.

I agree, such a PITA with selected places having it released at different times.
Apparently it won't even be released officially in South Africa, so I need to import it somehow. Orange store might be bringing in some stock, although so far they only have the 2GB version on their site.
The phone is priced really well for the specs and therefore will become really popular in a lot of places. I think Asus need to adjust their model numbering a bit and consider better releases next time around.
A simple change in model number would have made life so much easier. ZE550ML, ZE551ML (2GB RAM, 1.8Ghz model), ZE552ML (4GB RAM, 2.3Ghz model). Something as simple as that would have made life that much easier.
Not to mention a worldwide release. Asus are a massive company who have been releasing various products for years. They should have this waxed.
The shipping date on the French Asus Shop has chased me away from ordering via them. It kinda feel as if Asus made a few phone which they planned on releasing early on and then had plans to delay the release date for the rest of the world. Sigh.
Well, even the shipping date from the official asus shop has expired. I have no news from them. Usually I would receive an automated email on every status change of my order.
Asus was probably not prepared for such a big demand.

Hi all book with darty 1/04 and Date push, darty must receive the week of 20/04 to 26/04 phones so I ba patient.
From what I have read, there was a misunderstanding between French online shops and Asus. Asus claims the main delivery date planned was on the 20th of April to the online shops and not earlier. Meaning apart for some lucky guys who may have gotten it earlier, the ZE551ML will not be shipped until the 21st I guess.

Do you have some links for this? Wasn't there already enough confusion related to spec sheets when the preordering started? If I wanted to pre-order a device in order to receive it 1 month later, I would be buying apple products.
If this turn out to be the case, I may reconsider my choice and go for a G3 or M8.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
It has been confirmed on asus' Twitter account
Thanks for sharing the pics
Because of that, I am now considering other phones as well (G3 is among them )
Sounds like someone from the marketing division has to get fired. This already started with the chaos around having multiple configurations (in terms of CPU) sharing the same model ID. This led to all sites, including the official asus shop, listing the wrong spec sheets for a couple of days. Now the saga continues with wrong release dates communicated to the small list of exclusive retailers. A real shame. If I come across a decently priced M8, I will cancel my ZF2 order and get the M8.
There was French guy on another thread claiming that he already received his ZE551ML. Would you mind letting us know where and when you ordered it?
Mine is from the official asus shop, ordered on March 28. No news since then.

I just received reply from Asus shop support. They say that they are unable to provide a new shipping date and they have raised the issue on a higher level, and will revert as soon as there is more information available.
In other words, somebody f'cked in regards of specs and availability communication and nobody actually has a clue about what's going on.

according to droid-life, that's the case.
http://www.droid-life.com/2016/10/04/google-pixel-pixel-xl-now-pre-order/
This is the only bit of info that's available on Pixel's page.
"Pre-order Pixel and get a promo code for the Daydream View — on us"
Awesome news, I had no clue. Apparently that also applies for preorders through Fi
It actually says
Terms and Conditions
Offer applies to redemption of one Daydream View VR headset with the pre-order of a Pixel phone on the Google Store in the U.S. starting on 10/4/2016 and available while supplies last. After a qualifying purchase of a Pixel phone, a promo code will be emailed within approximately 4 weeks from the Pixel phone shipment date. The promo code must be used on the Google Store before 12/31/2016 and will expire after this date. The promo codes are not stored value, are for one-time use only, cannot be transferred to other users, cannot be exchanged for cash or cash equivalent, and have no balance after one-time use. Google Inc. is not liable for lost or stolen promo codes, or for expired promo codes that are not redeemed before 12/31/2016. To be eligible, user must be a US resident, age 13 or older, and have or activate a Google Payments account. Terms subject to applicable laws. Void where prohibited.
I just got my promotional e-mail from google mailing list that i signed up for about the pixel phones.
It says right in the text "pre-order pixel and enjoy the new Daydream View VR headset on us"
That should confirm that its a promo code for 100% off.
USA only. Nice one Google.
I ordered my phone from the Google Store right after the conference but before this email went out. I wonder if I will get a promo code or not?

I'm in the same boat. I'm sure there are many of us that ordered before the email went out. Wouldn't make sense for the first people to order to not get the free headset. Just in case, I'll have my torch and pitchfork ready to go. [emoji16]

Yes... I agree. 32gb to 128? I have a 64 gb 6p and its perfect.
Yeah. Don't understand the 32gb-128. And VR daydream is not free. You had to buy a way over priced phone first. Lol
